I have a hypothesis that people who learned to code before ~2010 are more likely to have done so because they like coding and want to make it a career, and that people who learned after this period are more motivated by money and an idealized vision of what working at a software company is like (free lunch at the office, having meetings on bicycle cars). I grew up learning to code on forums and 4chan in the mid 2000s and everyone I interacted with loved the process of writing code more than the output of the code. People i work with today usually dont code as a hobby, would prefer to let LLMs generate their code for them, and are highly motivated by money. Some of them even say they hate coding, and dream of moving i to project management.
Why did the world become like this. Why are all the employed people terrible coders and all the good coders sit around on IRC and forums complaining about being unemployed
